XCrawl: Team 3 - Bestiarii ONLY

[The Jackal]

I would suggest we go to the XP room over the ? room. But if it's 2-1 that's fine.

[The Jackal]

We don't have quite as much luxury with time with having to resuscitate EF.

[Chief Rum]

I'm not 100% sure we have to wait for the deadline to use the potion. Can't we just inform KWhit that you're drinking it? I would guess the effect is immediate.

[The Jackal]

Might as well just drink it. Either we learn immediately or we don't, you are going to drink it either way.

[EagleFan]

Sent the request to take a potion.

[Chief Rum]

All right, we haven't heard from KWhit yet, and I am leaving work, and you guys are mesmerized by hockey, so I will send in a conditional order based on EF's post above. If you guys get back in time and see a need to change anything, of course, let KWhit know.

[EagleFan]

Staying with what Chief sent in, sounds like a good plan.

[EagleFan]

That wasn't the result I was hoping for. But at least they took the home ice advantage, now they just need to hold serve and they advance.

[KWhit]

XP in this room:

Bestiarri enters this room first, followed closely by Team Deutschbäg.

You guys are immediately bombarded by a horde of ugly Orcs. They're mean, they smell bad, and they attack. You can't even tell how many of them there are. Luckily, they're pretty weak. But they seem to just keep on coming!

Processing the combat now...

[EagleFan]

Getting curious now, I guess the other two teams chose the question mark?

[KWhit]

You put up an epic fight, but there were just too many. As in, you believe the DJ had as many Orc minions at his disposal to keep sending at you and you were worn down.

EF killed 2 before he was knocked unconscious.
Jackal killed 6 before he went down.
CR killed 5. But then he went down too.

Good news: You get a lot of XP.
Bad news: You used a lot of healing potions. And it was a total party kill. The DJ called off the orcs before they could outright KILL you, but you're unconscious and will need time to recover.

[EagleFan]

I guess that mage armor was a bad choice...

I think we try supplies this time around. We're in need of healing potions and pretty much on our lst legs. If the prices are the same I can get 3 of them and hand them out.

Chief may want to use the scroll. Thoughts?

I would be willing to give the medallion a shot. Thoughts?

[EagleFan]

The other team claim to have taken out almost 30 of them. I doubt thry would be honest about it, but if they did then wow we suck, or at least I do.

[The Jackal]

Hrm, that wasn't too great. I'll take my healing potion and see how much life I get back, but yes, we should get more healing pots.

[The Jackal]

And boy did we suck in the third period EF, the devils won that game and we just sit back and let 'em do it.

[Chief Rum]

I thought the supplies room is the entry way that ended up pitting Big Wang Theory and Killian's Killers? We may not want to go through that door.

[The Jackal]

Is that so? I didn't notice that in the writeup but I may have skimmed over it

And the monitors show Killian's Killers doing battle with Big Wang.

"This should be fun!"

Here's the quote from the main thread, with my bolding for emphasis.

[The Jackal]

So.. I did miss that.

Shall we just continue then?

[The Jackal]

According to our latest potion count it looks like I'm the only one left with a healing potion, CR

[The Jackal]

So you guys are both going to be stuck at 1 with me at 1+healing potion.. so it's meat shield time

Doesn't mean it's going to be the sme this time around. We're in a different room now with those 3 options.

I thought we were back out in the hall. Same three doors.

[EagleFan]

Not sure why I thought it was different room with 3 identically marked doors but it looks like it my be the same room.

KWhit, is this the same room or a different room with the same markings on the doors?

[KWhit]

Same hallway. You went into one of the rooms. Upon leaving, you're back in the same hallway with the same choices.

[The Jackal]

Move onwards?

[EagleFan]

Sounds like the best choice given out health right about now.

Oh....


Go Flyers!!!!

[EagleFan]

Time to have a little fun with everyone...

Going to try to nudge the other three teams into battle.

[The Jackal]

We're the least famous team, what gives

[EagleFan]

We're like the Flyers, the refs are against us.

[EagleFan]

How did you like that finish yesterday?

2 more and they'll move on!!!

[EagleFan]

Not to sound like a broken record but any thoughts on the medallion of evil? I am thinking we may want to use the scroll of costitution (instead of letting it wait) and maybe think about the medallion as well.

[Chief Rum]

Yeah, it might be time to try the medallion. And I will cast the Scroll of Constitution on myself, although I don't know if it will help (I don't think that adds HP).

I know the action order is in, but any thoughts to giving the question mark room a try?

I don't think any team did that one.

The other two rooms were relative negatives, so it wouldn't surprise me if this last one was a positive (I hope).

[The Jackal]

We got so screwed in that game I was really hoping the karma would even out and it did

[EagleFan]

I would be okay with trying the question mark room. Might as well pull out all the stops now since we seem to be on a downwad spiral at the moment.

Don't want to try the supply room at all, we are too weak right now. XP room may give us just a little bit more XP, which could help but we wouldn;t stand up to much right about now.

Moving forward helps our time but leaves us in bad shape.

I'd be up for trying it, but the low hp is somewhat worrisome. Figure either way we're going to run into a fight sooner or later, we need us some healing.

That's the problem, really. There's no guarantee that "down the hall" doesn't get us into another fight. At least we know something's behind this door, maybe something helpful. We'll lose time not going down the hall to teams making that choice, but we might find something behind this door that helps down the road (think along same lines as that Box #1 we passed up).

Problem is that moving along doesn't get us healing either as we are out of potions. Maybe we get lucky and get a good result from the question mark room.

[EagleFan]

Thoughts on this approach:

CR uses scroll
One of us wears the medallion
We enter the question mark room

[EagleFan]

Have to step away very shortly so I will have to catch the results later.

I am fine with either approach (moving along or entering the question mark room).

If you want to use the medallion I am okay with being the guinea pig and trying to wear it.

[The Jackal]

I say let's do it all.

[EagleFan]

Logging out, will check back later to see the results (around 2 or so).

Feel free to send the new orders as I am okay with either.

[EagleFan]

Good luck Team, We will turn this around!!!

I agree, let's do it all.

I already sent in the scroll order, but I'll send in a new one for all of it.

Jackal, I figured you have the medallion, so you get to wear it.

(But you can change that, if you want).

[The Jackal]

I thought EF was going to wear it because he's the mage.. I really did not want to put that on

[The Jackal]

But we'll see what happens.

[Chief Rum]

Ah, didn't know that. Oh well...hopefully it won't matter.

[KWhit]

?? Room

You open the door with the question mark.

A blue glowing portal is in front of you.

You say "What the hell?" and enter the portal.

A nauseous tugging sensation in your guts and then:

You're back at the button room.

The 4 buttons on the wall in front of you are once again active. They are labeled:

Bestiarii
Big Wang Theory
Killian's Killers
Deutschbäg

You may once again press one of them.

You notice that Killian's Killers are also back in their section of the button room.
